Pierre Maguire was on the TEAM1040 this morning (Wednesday)in Vancouver and he was talking about the Recchi situation. Him and Recchi were texting each other last night before the Canucks/Ducks game and Maguire says that Recchi will likely be traded by Friday. Pittsburgh apparently wants to hand over the reigns of the team to the younger players and they feel that with the presence of such veterans as Recchi, Roberts and Sydor, its hard for those younger players to be that voice in the dressing room. I don't know what that means for Roberts or Sydor, but so far only Recchi has been told to call up other clubs and work out a trade for himself.

It's a rumor website but I don't really doubt it. I say bring on the 4th or 5th round draft pick.

I remember once upon a time while I was still in college (or even maybe still in high school -- it's been a while), but I was listening to the radio broadcast of a Sharks game, and the announcers started talking about an incident at MSG in a game against the Flyers where there was some poor schmuck in a Flyers jersey sitting down in the lower levels, when the chant starts from the cheap seats "Burn that shirt." And eventually someone set the guy's Flyers jersey on fire with the guy still inside it. So I suppose my point is that Flyers fans may be classless goons, but at least they don't set people on fire. To my knowledge anyway.

I remember hearing a story that had to be circa 2001 or 2002 about Billy Tibbetts getting pissed off when the vets made him sit in the back of the team bus following a game...So the hothead decided to throw a half-eaten hamburger at them. The throw was off target and just happened to strike a certain team owner/player as he started walking onto the bus.

Tibbetts, supposedly, was sent back to Wilkes-Barre the next day.

Now I heard this second hand from someone else who probably heard it second hand, so who knows if it's an urban legend or not. But I totally believe it could have happened.

wow, emdubs. good point. how ironic would THAT be if he got traded on his own bobblehead night?!

ugh! between the ibm training i'm suffering through for work and the lack of pens games, this really might be the longest week of my life. :( THANK GOD both the training and the pens' hiatus end tomorrow.

Since there has been some Flyers talk today... Found this, Semi-funny.Key Quote "Know what, Jason Smith? You may be the frontman of this outfit, but we know who the people come to see. I’m the Pete Wentz of Philadelphia."Briere Emo Pt.1Briere Emo Pt.2
